How is he off leash ?
Probably terrible. His recall is terrible. So I not tried much yet. Other than when we're in the backyard (which is unfenced) playing soccer, he really hasn't got much practice being off leash. When we are playing soccer he doesn't venture though. I actually just found out there's an off leash park about 10 minutes from me. So I'm going to try that Monday. If the weather cooperates. We went to the other park by me again today. And again had another successful no puke trip. So time to up the ante.
I agree. I considered telling Neo about treadmills for dogs!
Sounds promising. I just googled them. Never mind. In the words of my dad, "I have bought cars that haven't cost that much" lol.
I'll call your Bluey sploot and raise you a Beagle sploot.
A beagle was another dog that fit the size bill I was looking for. Bluey is actually 13 or 15 % beagle. Or something. So win win.

He's still young . Any high energy dogs life is so much better if they can be trusted off leash . Good luck !

i feed jeffery the sience diet food. with the recommend amout for his size. he does look lean, but dont beg for human food or even sniff around the table when we eat.
he is active and runs around chasing the squrrils when he is out side.
i broke him of jumping in 2 days, got him loose leach trained in just acouple of tugs. he only chews on his toys
he dont pee in the house.
me and the wife are both retired so he hasnt been left alone unsupervised yet. i do have a home crate for him thou, he just hasnt been in there yet

his days are hanging around with me, being the summer weather hasnt kicked in yet, he hangs in my truck when i go somewhere where he cant come down.

he doesnt bark hardly at all, but he growls alot at people ...i like that..lol

he could have a great life here

i called the pound yesterday to take him back, the lady said they over loaded and no room, they been putting down returned dogs, they put 15 down last week.
been watching u tube for hints for potty training

, i been doing his potty raining the old school way....rub face in it then throw him outside.... gunna try a new aproach, a more loving and understanding

but i will say this....he wont go back to the shelter to die

he had a no poop inside day yesterday, he must have over heard my convo with the shelter lady...lol
I stopped feeding my dogs Science Diet. Its OK as far as dog food goes but I found it made my two shit their brains out. I switched to a mixture of Royal Canin and Purina Pro and they go about half as much as they did. I havent check ingredients, but I believe it has more protein and less fillers.

I believe the formula for SD has changed because I didnt have issues with it in the past.

Maybe give the Purina Pro Plan puppy food a try. Both breeders I bought my dogs from swear by it and it should be readily available at most stores.


I'm so glad you're going to stick with him. :hug:
Good luck
